All discussions about Combofix...how it works, the routines it performs, what it can or cannot do, what the log results mean, future plans, development, etc, are in private areas not for the general public to read. Why?Safeguarding ComboFix from malware writers is necessary and important so that we can continue to use it without attackers having knowledge how to defeat it. Everything we discuss can be read by the bad guys. Yes, they read these forum topics looking for clues (knowledge) on how to circumvent our tools and removal techniques. We don't want to provide any information they can use against us so we deliberately do not provide specific information on the specific inner workings of our tools and how we use them in areas where attackers can see that information. As such, our discussion in public areas is limited and sometimes may appear vague or not fully address a specific question so it should not be taken personal.

If you want to learn more about ComboFix you will have to enroll in the BleepingComputer's Malware Removal Training Program (if space is available) or one of the other various Unite Schools where such training is offered. In that environment experts will train those interested in assisting others with malware removal and how to use specialized fix tools like ComboFix. Once training has been completed, you will have access to the ComboFix discussion thread to learn more specific information about the tool and ask any questions.
